following suggestions and tests
should be done before the
actual unit installation is started:
CAUTION:
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
DO NOT plug in or energize this
appliance until all Installation
Instructions are read and

Brewer will occur if these
instructions are not followed.
CAUTION:
UNSTABLE
EQUIPMENT HAZARD
It is very important for safety
and for proper operation that the
brewer is level and stable when
standing in its nal operating
position. Provided adjustable,
non-skid legs must be installed
at each corner of the unit.
Failure to do so will result in
movement of the brewer which
can cause personal Injury and/
or damage to brewer.
NOTE: Water supply inlet line
must meet certain minimum
criteria to insure successful
operation of the brewer.
Bloomeld recommends 1/4”
copper tubing for installation of
less than 25 feet and 3/8” for
more than 25 feet from a 1/2”
water supply line.
Unpack the unit. Inspect all components for completeness and
condition. Ensure that all packing materials have been removed
from the unit.
Verify that the Spray Head Gasket and Spray Disk are properly
installed.
LEVELING THE UNIT
Verify that an adjustable leg is installed at each corner of the
brewer, and that a rubber foot is installed on each leg.
Set Brewer in its operating location. Level the Brewer. A spirit
level should be placed on the top of the unit, at the edge, as a
guide when making level adjustments.
Level the unit from left to right and front to back by turning the
adjustable feet. Be sure all four feet touch the counter to prevent
tipping.
PLUMBER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Brewer should be connected to a POTABLE WATER, COLD
WATER line. Flush water line before connecting to Brewer.
DO NOT use a saddle valve with a self-piercing tap for the water
line connection. Such a tap can become restricted by waterline
debris. For systems that must use a saddle tap, shut off the
main water supply and drill a 3/16” (minimum) tap for the saddle
connection, in order to insure an ample water supply. Remember
to ush the line prior to installing the saddle.
The brewer must be installed on a water line with average
pressure between 20 PSI and 90 PSI. If your water pressure
exceeds 90 PSI at anytime, a pressure regulator must be
installed in the water supply line to limit the pressure to not more
than 90 PSI in order to avoid damage to lines and solenoid.
Plumber must provide two 1/4” female are water supplies for this
brewer.
A water shut-off valve should be installed on the incoming water
line in a convenient location (Use a low restriction type valve,
such as a 1/4-turn ball valve, to avoid loss of water ow thru the
NSF requires that the brewer be able to be moved for cleaning
underneath. A ex line or loops of copper tubing will satisfy this
requirement. See Figure 2 below.
Fig. 2 Water Supply Installation
In some areas, local codes require a backow preventer
(check valve) to be installed on the inlet water line. If a backow
preventer is used, you must install a water hammer arrester in the
incoming line, between the backow preventer and the brewer
inlet, as far away from the brewer as space will allow. This will
relieve the excessive back pressures that can cause faucet leaks
and solenoid malfunctions.
ELECTRICIAN’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REFER TO ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS - Page 1
Check the nameplate to determine correct electrical service
required for the Brewer to be installed.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting to electricity, make sure
automatic brewers are connected to the water supply.
NOTE: This equipment must
be installed to comply with
applicable federal, state and
local plumbing codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
SHOCK HAZARD
Brewer must be properly
grounded to prevent possible
shock hazard. DO NOT
assume a plumbing line
will provide such a ground.
Electrical shock will cause death
or serious injury.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect
brewer to electrical power until
the tank is lled with water.
Pour water into the pour-over
opening until water ows from
the brew head.
IMPORTANT:
Supply power must match
nameplate for voltage and
phase. Connecting to the
wrong voltage will damage the
brewer or result in decreased
performance. Such damage is
not covered by warranty.
Brewers must be wired by an electrician, and require a dedicated
115/230V or 120/240V 20A circuit (50/60 Hz, L1, L2, Neutral,
plus ground). Remove front panel to gain access to terminal
block. Green terminal must be connected to a suitable building
ground. Circuit must be capable of 4000 Watts (model 1090 and
1092) or 7000 Watts (model 1091 and 1093).
See gure 3 at right.
IMPORTANT: Wiring must be installed in approved solid or
exible conduit, and must be secured to the brewer with a strain
Tank must be full of
water before connecting
brewer to electrical power.
Heating elements will be
damaged if allowed to
operate without being fully

power. For Models 1091 & 1093, press power switch to ON.
When the water has reached the proper temperature, the
Water temperature is sensed by an electronic water
temperature probe inserted into the water tank.
This temperature signal is fed to the controller.
The setpoint temperature is adjustable. The
controller sends a command signal to the power
board based upon a comparison between the
setpoint temperature and actual temperature.
See page 15.
The power board energizes the heating elements
based on the command signal from the controller.
Excessive temperature will trip the hi-limit safety
switch. The hi-limit will automatically reset when
the brewer cools.
WATER FLOW
POUR-OVER FEATURE
Pouring any amount of water into the pour-over
opening and into the basin pan forces an identical
amount of heated water out of the tank and through
the spray head.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Pressing the BREW key energizes the solenoid
valve, allowing water from an external water supply
to ow into the water tank. The incoming water
forces heated water out of the tank to perform the
brew.
The solenoid uses a ow control device so that
ow is consistent between 20 p.s.i. and 90 p.s.i.
The length of time the solenoid is open is controlled
by the time setting of the controller. See page 18.
After the solenoid closes, water will continue to ow
to the brew chamber until
the water level in the tank falls below the brew
pickup, breaking the siphon.
HOT WATER FAUCET
The faucet water coil is submerged in the hot water
tank and draws heat from the brew water. Water going to the water coil is not controlled by the
solenoid valve.
Hot water is provided at the faucet, at supply water
pressure, any time the faucet shut-off valve is
